When I was well enough to stand, I used Christian’s phone to schedule an emergency appointment with Dr. Alder. She asked me to come in right away and I didn’t want to hesitate. When I hung up, I looked at Christian.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx9Vzw6GZp

“This is probably the best thing right now,” he said softly. He left the bathroom and I followed. He was sitting on the bed, his hands on his lap. “Did you know Cassie well?”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JPv9b1vxD

“Yeah, she was a bitch,” I said, my eyes narrowing at the floor. Even though the girl was dead, I couldn’t help the anger that came from my words.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLvcVJFANY

“She wasn’t exactly nice to people she deemed unpopular, but I hope you’re not glad she’s dead or anything like that.”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAugivFutX

I sank down beside him, my shoulders hunched as I stared at the floor. “Christian,” I said in a low voice, “what if I—”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIdzPOTs1l

“No,” he said, putting his hand up. “You didn’t do this. You wouldn’t. You get sick even watching scary movies, so it’s not possible. Besides, I was here with you all night.”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl0V6vfyXh

He was silent. He had no answer and I understood what I was saying was ridiculous. I felt like two different people, then. Slowly, I stood up and walked to the bathroom, shutting the door behind me.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXvN98kuhb

I leaned against it for a few minutes before I went to the sink and stared into the mirror. I gazed at my tired reflection, into my eyes; the eyes of a wolf, a predator, and a possible killer. I closed them and shook my head, trying to clear it.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQyW0h6Ksr

Christian was right. There was no way that I had killed anyone last night.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SwbjbXBBB

A knock on the door brought me out of my reverie.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6ARmfJ9Vr

“I’m almost ready,” I muttered, looking down at my damp clothes. I frowned.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqaNMs8Trh

“You want to borrow a shirt?” he asked. Something clanked against the doorknob. “It’s here if you want. You should at least change that.”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCl53xbhJo

I turned and stared at the empty door, then opened it, slid my hand out and gripped the hanger. It was a solid black, short-sleeve and warm. When I was done putting it on, I tied my hair up and opened the door.517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsrSGVnDOS

“Maybe Dr. Alder can help you,” Christian said as he took my hand and led me to the front of the house. “I’ll sit with you, too, so you’ll feel better.”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqEz9dIkpT

“Thank you,” I said as I stepped out into the cool air and got into his car. He slipped into the driver’s side and started the engine. “Hey,” I murmured, “who did you hear the news about Cassie from anyway?”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlwEQUQgeq

Christian frowned. “My friend’s dad is a cop. He found her.”517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYBVi5s8Gv

An uncomfortable silence fell between us as he drove. My head was a mess and all I wanted to do was go back to sleep, but even that was too dangerous. 517Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0Cfp5iYSx
